- ⅓ cup 70 g Raw cane sugar

- Cut the cold butter into small pieces and coat in the flour almond mixture.
- Add the sugar, vanilla pulp, and egg yolks and quickly knead to a smooth dough.
- Let rest in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
- Roll the dough into a log, cut off ⅓ oz (10 g) pieces, and shape them into crescents.

Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Since the warm crescents break very easily, it is a good idea to remove them from the baking sheet with the paper and let them cool.
